“ Listen carefully to what I say.” the time traveler said. “I shall tell you something that you will not agree.”
“Why will we not agree?” I asked.
“Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct,” he said, “You believe there are only three dimensions(三维空间）---length, breadth(宽）and thickness.”
“There is nothing to agree with that,” the youngest member of our little group said.
“Exactly!” the time traveler answered. “But there is also a fourth dimension---time.”
“We all know about time,” another member of the group said,” Time passes.”
“I do not agree,” the time traveler said. “Length, breadth and thickness do not pass. They stay in the same place in space. We move about them. I can prove that time is the same. It does not pass. We move in time the same way that we move in length, breadth and thickness.”
None of us believed the time traveler, and we argued with him for many hours.
“If we could travel back in time,” the scientist said, “we could do things to change the future.”
“If we could travel forward in time,”the doctor(博士）said,“We could do things that change our present.”
The time traveler smiled. “It is clear,” he said, “that there is only one way I can show you that I am right. We must do an experiment. Please wait here.”
He left the room and soon returned, carrying what looked like a clock.
“This is a model of a time machine. It took me two years to make it.” the time traveler said, “I want all of you to understand that when I start the machine, it will immediately travel in time and disappear from present.”
He turned to the youngest of us. “Give me your hand.” he said.
The young man put out his hand. The time traveler took it and placed it on the machine. Immediately, there was a sudden wind, and the little machine disappeared.
I was certain this was not a trick, but the doctor was not so sure.
“Are you asking us to believe,” he said, “that the machine is now in the different time?”
“Certainly! In my laboratory, a full-size machine is almost complete. As soon as it is complete, I shall send myself on a journey through time. Would you like to see my machine?”
“Are you serious about this?” the doctor asked.
“I have never been more serious about anything,” the time traveler said, “Come.”
We followed him to his laboratory. There, we saw the actual machine, not quite complete, but large enough for a man to sit in.

One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency．You know，you would be submerged(淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely．We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy．
The trip was not very long but it was still very pleasant．We look forward to going there again! Of course，we spent lots of time arranging the trip，but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa，but everything went quite smoothly in the end．
The most difficult part was getting a visa（签证）without an invitation．In the Italian consulate，one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa．Then we had to solve the ticket problem．Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance．The next step was to book a hotel．We finally booked a hotel about 30 km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip．
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome．Our big house，which was surrounded by the forest，was a rare place for the fresh air and complete silence，beautiful views，hospitable hosts，comfortable living conditions delighting us to no end．Besides this，we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian．She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use．She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go．
Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself．It’s not difficult! The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves．We walked with a map and a guidebook to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times．So if you’re also planning a ‘single’ trip，don’t forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue．

I once knew a man who was rich in his love for birds, and in their love for him . He lived in a grove full of all kinds of trees. He had no wife or children in his home. He was an old man with blue and kind eyes, and a voice that the birds loved.
While he was at work in the grove, the birds came close to pick up the worms(蠕虫) in the fresh earth he dug up. At first, they kept their distance from him, but they soon found he was a kind man, and would not hurt them, but liked to have them near him.
They knew this by his kind eyes and voice, which tell what is in the heart. So, day by day their faith in his love grew in them.
All the birds of the grove were soon his fast friends. They were on the watch for him, and would fly down from the green tree tops to greet him with their chirp(叽叽喳喳叫).
When he had no work to do, he took bread with him, and dropped the pieces on the ground. Down they would dart(俯冲) on his head and feet to catch them as they fell from his hand.
He showed me how they loved him, He put a piece of bread in his mouth, with one end of it out of his lips, Down they came like bees at a flower, and flew off with it piece by piece,
